In this week's update, you
will learn about a new advocacy group in our town: BeBOLD: Bedford
Building Our Lives Drug Free. As an active member of this board, and in
partnership with school, town, state, and national organizations, I am
proud to announce that we are hosting a summit for you. This
summit is intended to help parents understand and be aware of a NH
public health issue. The face of those who access gateway drugs has
changed. Please join me on Tuesday, March 16th at McKelvie at 6:30pm for what I expect to be a terrific forum.
